If pig production is profitable, lowering the mortality rate improves net income. However, it can be difficult to determine what cost can be incurred to lower the mortality rate and achieve a profit. The purpose of this fact sheet is not to determine the cost of mortality mitigation strategies but to help producers determine the income
If pig production is profitable, lowering the mortality rate improves net income. However, it can be difficult to determine what cost can be incurred to lower the mortality rate and achieve a profit. The purpose of this fact sheet is not to determine the cost of mortality mitigation strategies but to help producers determine the income opportunity of improving mortality in their operation as compared to the potential cost of a strategy to lower mortality. Mortality reduction strategies and costs will most certainly vary among operations and situations.
